An essential guide for networking professionals responsible for implementing Wi-Fi 7

Join wireless networking experts Jerome Henry, Brian Hart, Binita Gupta, and Malcolm Smith on this deep dive into Wi-Fi 7 and 802.11be. The authors share their practical experience to show you how to design and optimize your network to fully leverage Wi-Fi 7's new capabilities and deepen your understanding of the latest wireless networking advancements.

You will learn the inner workings of Wi-Fi 7 PHY and MAC improvements like triggered uplink access, puncturing, rTWT, and SCS QC. You will explore the new possibilities of multi-link operations and learn why clients will come in five possible MLO modes that dramatically affect the expectations you can have for their performances. You'll gain real-world insights into protocol implementation and its effects on Wi-Fi cell design, roaming efficiency, and overall network performance.

This book is an invaluable resource for anyone who designs, manages, and optimizes wireless networks or works with 802.11, from network architects and wireless network administrators to network engineers, and it offers practical guidance for anyone who needs the knowledge and expertise to stay ahead in the evolving Wi-Fi technology landscape.

Includes a foreword by Matt MacPherson (CTO of Wireless, Cisco Systems)

In this book, you will:

Understand the foundational concepts that support Wi-Fi 7 and the 802.11be protocol Learn about the enhancements introduced in Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E and their impact on 802.11be Explore 802.11be changes to transmission and reception techniques, channel structure, and multi-user access management Learn about Multi-Link Operation (MLO), its requirements and limitations, and its five different modes Understand the advances in Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms and priority scheduling Examine site survey and network planning considerations specific to Wi-Fi 7 deployments
